Revelation 1
1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ which God gave him so that his servants might have knowledge of the things which will quickly take place: and he sent and made it clear by his angel to his servant John;
Mu libuku ili muli bintu Lesa mbyalayubulwila Yesu Klistu kwambeti ambile basebenshi bakendi, bintu byela kwinshika ca lino lino. Neco Klistu walatuma mungelo wakendi kuya kwambila Yohane musebenshi wakendi.
2 Who gave witness of the word of God, and of the witness of Jesus Christ, even of all the things which he saw.
Yohane walamba byonse mbyalabona bilambanga sha mulumbe wa Lesa ne cancinencine ncalayubulwila Yesu Klistu.
3 A blessing be on the reader, and on those who give ear to the prophet's words, and keep the things which he has put in the book: for the time is near.
Ukute colwe muntu labelengenga maswi abushinshimi ali mu libuku ili, kayi bakute colwe bantu balakutikinga maswi ne kwasunga. Cindi ca kwambeti bintu bitatike kwinshika cilipepi.
4 John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace to you and peace, from him who is and was and is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his high seat;
Njame Yohane, ndalembelenga mibungano isanu ne ibili ili mu cimpansha ca Asiya. Luse ne lumuno kufuma kuli Lesa uyo walikubapo, ulipo kayi uyo lesanga, bibe ne njamwe. Luse ne lumuno kufuma kumishimu isanu ne ibili ili ku Cipuna ca Bwami bwa Lesa bibe ne njamwe.
5 And from Jesus Christ, the true witness, the first to come back from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who had love for us and has made us clean from our sins by his blood;
Kayi luse ne lumuno kufuma kuli Yesu Klistu, kamboni washomeka bibe ne njamwe. Yesu emutanshi kupunduka kubafu walakoma lufu, endiye lendeleshenga bami ba pacishi capanshi. Walatusuna netulubula ku bwipishi ne milopa yakendi.
6 And has made us to be a kingdom and priests to his God and Father; to him let glory and power be given for ever and ever. So be it. (aiōn g165)
Nendi latubiki kuba bami ne beshimilumbo beshikusebensela Lesa, Baishi. Yesu Klistu apewe bulemu ne ngofu lelo ne masuba onse, Ameni! (aiōn g165)
7 See, he comes with the clouds, and every eye will see him, and those by whom he was wounded; and all the tribes of the earth will be sorrowing because of him. Yes, so be it.
Kamubonani, lesanga mumakumbi, uliyense nakamubone, ne bonse balamuyasa. Bantu bonse pacishi capanshi nibakamulile. Neco kacikabani motepelomo. Kamubonani, Yesu lesanga pamo ne makumbi. Bantu bonse nibakamubone, naboyo balikumuyasa nibakamubone. Bantu bamishobo yonse pacishi capanshi nibakalile cebo ca endiye. Ee, ici nicikenshike! Ameni.
8 I am the First and the Last, says the Lord God who is and was and is to come, the Ruler of all.
Mwami Lesa wa ngofu shonse, uyo walikubako, ulipo kayi uyo lakesanga. Lambangeti, “Ame njame citatiko kayi njame mapwililisho.”
9 I, John, your brother, who have a part with you in the trouble and the kingdom and the quiet strength of Jesus, was in the island which is named Patmos, for the word of God and the witness of Jesus.
Njame Yohane washoma munenu, tulapengenga cebo ca Yesu Mwami wetu, uyo latupanga ngofu sha kupita mu mapensho. Ndalabikwa pa nsumbu ya Patimo cebo ca kukambauka mulumbe wa Lesa, ne cancinencine ico ncalayubulula Yesu.
10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and a great voice at my back, as of a horn, came to my ears,
Pa busuba bwa Mwami, Mushimu Uswepa walamfukata, kayi ndalanyumfwa maswi akompolola kunyuma kwakame, alikunyumfwiketi kulila kwa tolompita.
11 Saying, What you see, put in a book, and send it to the seven churches; to Ephesus and to Smyrna and to Pergamos and to Thyatira and to Sardis and to Philadelphia and to Laodicea.
Kambeti, “Kolemba mulibuku bintu mbyolabononga, kayi watume ku mibungano isanu ne ibili ku Efenso ku Simuna ku Pegamo ku Tiyatila ku Salidisi ku Filadelufiya ne ku Lawodikeya.”
12 And turning to see the voice which said these words to me, I saw seven gold vessels with lights burning in them;
Mpondalacebuketi mbone walikwamba ne njame, ndalabona pakubika malampi asanu ne abili a golide.
13 And in the middle of them one like a son of man, clothed with a robe down to his feet, and with a band of gold round his breasts.
Pakati pa byakubikapo malampi asa, palikuba naumbi walikuboneketi Mwana Muntu, walikuba wafwala mwinjila utali washika ku myendo kayi walikuba walikobeka cikwisa ca golide pa cali.
14 And his head and his hair were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;
Mishishi ya kumutwi wakendi yalikuba tuu eti buluba, nambi eti mapepe ankobokobo, menso akendi alikuboneketi makalangasha a mulilo.
15 And his feet like polished brass, as if it had been burned in a fire; and his voice was as the sound of great waters.
Myendo yakendi yalikubeketi cela cilafukutwanga pa muba, kayi maswi akendi alikunyumfwiketi kuwota kwa menshi angi.
16 And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth came a sharp two-edged sword: and his face was like the sun shining in its strength.
Mucikasa cakendi cakululyo, walikuba wekata nyenyenshi shisanu ne shibili. Kayi mu mulomo wakendi, mwalafuma cibeshi calumata konse konse. Pa cinso cakendi palikubangileti lisuba lyanga pelu pa mutwi.
17 And when I saw him, I went down on my face at his feet as one dead. And he put his right hand on me, saying, Have no fear; I am the first and the last and the Living one;
Mpondalamulangishisha, ndalawa panshi kumwendo yakendi eti muntu lafu. Neye walabika cikasa cakendi pali njame ne kwambeti, “Kotatina! ame njame citatiko ne mapwililisho.
19 Put in writing, then, the things which you have seen, and the things which are, and the things which will be after these;
Kolemba bintu mbyolabono, bilenshikinga pa cino cindi kayi ne byeti bikenshike kuntangu.
20 The secret of the seven stars which you saw in my right hand, and of the seven gold vessels with burning lights. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven lights are the seven churches.
Lino ndapandululunga bintu mbyowabulanga kwinshiba cena, nyenyenshi shisanu ne shibili nshewalabona ku cikasa cakame ca ku lulyo, kayi ne pakubika malampi pasanu ne pabili a golide. Nyenyenshi shisanu ne shibili ni batangunishi ba mibungano isanu ne ibili, kayi pakubika malampi pasanu ne pabili a golide ni mibungano isanu ne ibili.”
